The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

When can raiding a military camp where most of the soldiers are sick be considered a display of power?

"Hey you, if you, the warrior of the Great Qing, still want to show your might and save face, the only way left is to confront Xiang Ji head-on."

"Or we could try to break through Han Xin's encirclement, but believe me, that would only be more difficult."

"After all, Xiang Ji was forced to abandon his army and only managed to break out of Han Xin's encirclement with a few dozen cavalry."

"Personally, I feel that Dorgon's troops are barely enough to fill a tooth gap."

To save face and regain prestige?

With the war already at this point, Li Er found it hard to imagine how Qianlong could have the audacity to say such a thing.

"He's probably gone mad."

"By making this unavoidable choice, Dorgon has already suffered a complete defeat, regardless of whether he succeeds in breaking through."

"The warriors of the Qing Dynasty are invincible? If you say this now, probably only Emperor Qianlong himself can believe it."

Old Zhu also chuckled.

joke!

They dared not face Xiang Yu, dared not face Han Xin, and even dared not confront Liu Bang, who was exhausted on the front lines.

They only dared to bully the Great Western Army camp, which had no commander-in-chief and was mostly sick.

If we're talking about shamelessness, then he truly is unmatched in the world.

What do you know?

“You didn’t experience that era, and you don’t know about the existence of some formidable enemies. It’s too early for you to make sarcastic remarks now.”

“If you were in the position of my Great Qing, and faced an enemy like Li Dingguo, you would never have been able to do any better.”

“You all don’t understand. The entire Great Western Army is indeed not lacking in talent, but Li Dingguo is absolutely in a class of his own.”

Emperor Qianlong could only respond to their sarcasm with a cold laugh.

He could not deny Li Dingguo's abilities, otherwise it would be tantamount to saying that the Qing army, which had suffered several defeats under his command and was even almost forced to abandon the Central Plains, was useless.

And no one can deny this person's abilities.

If the Southern Ming emperor hadn't been captured, leading to Li Dingguo's death in despair, the eventual unification would likely have been delayed by more than ten years!

Meanwhile, inside the sky...

The screen is now divided into five sections.

The battlefield under Zhang Xianzhong's command was the most successful for the Qing army, and they were even showing signs of a gradual retreat.

After all, he brought very few troops to fight, and even those who were not sick were affected to varying degrees.

With their forces suppressed, the soldiers were in worse condition than the surrendered troops.

His ability to merely prolong the battle was already at its limit.

If Xiang Yu had not returned in time, once the battle ended, the large number of surrendered soldiers who had been freed would have been able to turn around and break through the great formation set up by Han Xin.

With these extra troops, Han Xin would definitely be affected, and then he would lose the whole game.

A defeat in one battle can lead to total defeat!

This was the most regrettable aspect for Dorgon.

He originally had a chance to win, but Han Xin blocked all his chances of winning.

After being notified in advance, Xiang Yu's reinforcements arrived promptly, not even allowing them to wait until Zhang Xianzhong was defeated and killed.

As for Han Xin himself, as long as the Qing army does not send more troops to his aid, the enemy forces trapped in the encirclement will only be gradually devoured!

Now let's look at Liu Bang.

Although most of his soldiers were exhausted, their fighting spirit remained high.

Han Xin's assessment of him was entirely accurate.

Although he hadn't been in charge of these soldiers for long, he was still able to win them over completely through various means.

Ultimately, they really don't want much.

It's just a glimmer of hope.

It's just a hope that I can survive, provide a better life for my family, and stop going hungry.

If the Ming Dynasty couldn't give them what they wanted, they rebelled against the Ming Dynasty!

If the Qing court couldn't give it to them, they would rather die than surrender!

Do the people in the Ming Dynasty court not know what they want?

Don't they know that a little charity would be enough to appease them?

While not all of the civil and military officials knew this, at least more than half understood it.

Their inaction was less a matter of incompetence and more a matter of them never taking these people seriously from the beginning.

Even if Li Zicheng led these people to break through the capital, they would only think that it was a case of the victor being king and the loser being villain, and that it was the result of Li Zicheng's exceptional abilities.

Everyone understands the saying "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it," yet no one takes it seriously.

Forget about making any promises to them; most officials wouldn't even bother to look at them.

As for the Qing Dynasty.

They were never even considered human beings.

In the eyes of most people in the Qing Dynasty, they were livestock, just like cattle and sheep!

How could they possibly make any promises to the livestock?

In their eyes, keeping the livestock alive is already a great blessing.

Although Li Zicheng claimed to be acting in the best interests of the people, his sphere of influence never extended to them.

Being near the border, they felt as if they had been abandoned by the world.

Only Liu Bang was willing to treat them as the same kind of people.

We are willing to make promises to them and keep them one by one.

I am willing to help them live a life where they can at least make ends meet.

They are willing to provide for and care for their families.

Although these soldiers had only undergone short-term training, they were far from meeting the standards of elite troops.

But at this moment, exhausted to the extreme, they unleashed a morale a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary elite soldiers!

"Why do I feel that even without Xiang Yu's appearance, Emperor Gaozu would still be able to dominate this battlefield?"

This battlefield seemed to be different from what they had all expected.

They originally thought that Liu Bang's soldiers were almost exhausted and could still fight, and that it would be remarkable if they could delay the Qing army's advance.

But now it seems that they are not only capable of fighting, but also have a tendency to become more and more courageous in battle!

Are these people made of iron?

Old Zhu was left only in amazement.

I was amazed by Liu Bang's skill in winning people's hearts.

How long has this army been in his hands?

They are now showing signs of becoming death squads!

In the previous challenge, Liu Bang, who replaced Cao Mao, demonstrated his exquisite skills.

In this challenge, he fully demonstrated his ability to win people's hearts and minds, and to establish an image of benevolent rule that garnered the support of the people!

"From this perspective, Xiang Ji's return can hardly be considered a timely help; at most, it's just adding to what's already good."

"The troops led by Emperor Gaozu have truly impressed me."

"Who would have thought that a recruit who has only undergone simple training could be so resilient?"

"In my understanding, apart from the absolute elite, a normal army would probably have collapsed long ago if it had fought to this extent."
